Airports ‘vunerable’ to attack
The 2007 Glasgow International Airport attack was a terrorist ramming attack which occurred on Saturday 30 June 2007, when a dark green Jeep Cherokee loaded with propane canisters was driven into the glass doors of the Glasgow International Airport terminal and set ablaze. It was the first terrorist attack to take place in Scotland. Security bollards outside the entrance stopped the car from entering the terminal, although the doors were damaged.
Security consultant Chris Yates said many of the changes put in place at Glasgow had been copied at other UK airports. But he said that although some “weak points” in airport had been addressed, others remained.
Since the attack, cars no longer drop off passengers outside the main terminal building, which was fitted with bomb-proof glass.
